Yes, we started discussing if an additional metapackage really is needed or not, but that didn't end in a clear conclusion. The main point in that bug is the version string, and I offered that I can bake a mariadb-server-core package that always depends on the latest package, at the moment mariadb-server-core-10.0. The alternative would be to have default-mysql-server-core that depends on mariadb-server-core-10.0. So we could do without new metapackages and utilize the already existing virtual-mysql-* scheme. >>> 2. mysql-common and configuration >>> Andreas B: Can you make an action point to yourself about issue 2?
